1989 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America

A/C not working,

Brake accumulator weak.

The car was nice when new, now it looks a little old fashion. It is very comfortable and quiet.

I am about to fix the A/C and the brakes, but after that I think it's time for a new ride.

I spend a lot of money on it already and really liked the style, that's why I have it for 11 years already. I think most of the trouble I had with it comes from the 2 accidents the first owner had with it. I noticed that both Fenders are replaced.

The electric rear-view Mirror never worked and the original Radio is broken too. No problems with windows or mirrors.

I went to a Ford dealer once to get my ABS brakes fixed, they told me they had to replace the computer in the trunk for around $2000.00, but the part would not be available anymore... great service! The car was 10 years old. I ended up fixing it myself for $300.00.
